2013 was a pretty awful season for the Minnesota Vikings, especially on the road. The Vikings finished the season 5-10-1 and went 0-7-1 on the road.

Over the past few years, arguably no position has seen a greater influx of talent than wide receiver. 23 teams will be paying over $10 million dollars for their wide receiving corps in 2014 (most out of any position) as the pass catcher has never been more valuable than it is today.

One of the unique twists in fantasy football is that it forces a smart owner to put aside rivalries.

&#160; OK, kill me now fans of the Green Bay Packers &#8211; but my intent here is to get everyone to remember how great Greg Jennings was as a wide receiver with the Green Bay Packers. For seven straight seasons, Jennings was a reception machine in Green Bay &#8211; that was long before he rejected2013-10-26 21:35:4610/25: Lombardi Ave- The Grumpy Writer: Green Bay Packers vs. Minnesota Vikings &#8211; Who Cares?http://lombardiave.com/2013/10/25/green-bay-packers-minnesota-vikings-grumpy-writer/
&#160; &#160; I took a week off from the Green Bay Packers and expounding on my grumpiness because I deserved it.

You can use a lot of words to describe the Hubert H. Humphrey Metrodome. Small, outdated, and cramped are all accurate. So are loud, successful, and intimidating. But the word I most often hear associated with the Metrodome is dump. It might not be fair, but I feel like it&#8217;s accurate.

It&#8217;s Vikings week, everybody. The Green Bay Packers will travel to Minnesota Sunday night and play in the Metrodome one last time. There has been plenty of talk this week regarding Greg Jennings and his comments about the Packers organization and Aaron Rodgers.

&#160; And so it continues â¦ for the Green Bay Packers. The injury list has grown larger but they find a way to recapture their rightful spot atop of the NFC North. This weekendâs match up between the Green Bay Packers and Minnesota Vikings will continue to be one of my annual favorites.

&#160; &#160; So I guess the story out in Minnesota according to Leslie Frazier is that Josh Freeman was concussed Monday night in that debacle of a game played between Minnesota and New York.

&#160; So far so good for the Green Bay Packers.

The big story come Monday night for the 1-4 Minnesota Vikings isn&#8217;t whether they win or lose, but rather if quarterback Josh Freeman can prove that he is the future gunslinger of the franchise or if he is more of a byproduct that is no better than Matt Cassel or Christian Ponder.

&#160; Losing two key pieces in the an offensive attack would, for most teams, be devastating &#8211; and for the Green Bay Packers, it stings quite a bit, but I don&#8217;t see it being impossibleÂ to garner the high flying production the team was having before.

This should come as no surprise, but Christian Ponder, the first-round quarterback bust of two years ago by the Minnesota Vikings, is pretty disappointed about the benching that he has received and is contemplating his future with the Minnesota organization.

&#160; We all knew it was only a matter of time before the change was made at quarterback for the Minnesota Vikings &#8211; a change that was bound to involve Josh Freeman.

&#160; It was the best of times; it was the worst of times. Yes, Sundayâs showdown between the Green Bay Packers and the Baltimore Ravens really was a tale divided. The good?

&#160; I can&#8217;t say that I was surprised to hear about the Minnesota Vikings new (to them) quarterback acquisition this week.

In 1998, 21-year-old Randy Moss made a stunning NFL debut, racking up 17 touchdowns and 1,260 True Receiving Yards, the 2nd-best total in football that season.

A common refrain weâve been hearing out of Green Bay is that James Jones wonât be able to catch 14 touchdowns again. He has to come back down to earth, because touchdowns are unsustainable and heâs never caught 14 before. The conclusion that he will catch fewer touchdowns this year is all bu2013-09-03 18:37:329/3: EDSFootball- 2013 NFL Preseason Predictions: NFC North (Woodhull)http://eatdrinkandsleepfootball.com/blog/2013/09/2013_nfl_preseason_predictions_nfc_north_woodhull.html

Green Bay Packers WR Greg Jennings said there are some disadvantages to playing at home in the postseason. Jennings did not mind previous playoff runs that went through warmer cities or domed stadiums. 'I'm not opposed to playing here,' Jennings said of playing at Lambeau Field. 'Obviously, with our crowd and our fans, that's what we want as a team. But going on the road, being isolated away from everyone, I think the focus level and the sense of urgency is just a tad higher because you're dependent on your teammate. You travel, you're in a hotel - you're all together. It's you guys against everyone else outside of that hotel.' Jennings also said he'd take a playoff game on good turf like a dome. 'Absolutely.
